Question

An airplane is flying horizontally at a velocity of 50.0 m/s at an altitude of 125 m. It drops a package to observers on the ground below. Approximately how far will the package travel in the horizontal direction from the point that it was dropped
Without air resistance, time to drop to ground (irrespective of horizontal velocity)
t = √(2gh)

horizontal distance
= horiz. velocity * t
12
